Kinda Sketchy

 This quarter I took a workshop class called 'Podcasting 101'. In Podcasting 101 we learn to produce, record and edit our own podcasts. With my friend Z we created a podcast called 'Kinda Sketchy'its a podcast where we interview strangers with fun questions about their lives and all their interesting experiences. Below you can find the first two episodes of our podcast.  Overall I am happy with our interview but if I could have changed anything in our podcast I would add some better questions and also I would try and find quieter backgrounds for the interview. Please enjoy our Podcast, "Kinda Sketchy".

Papaya Pete Welcome to our first unit of Food For thought! A class where we talk about the Anthropological and historical ideas that food takes us including where it came from and how that in turn informs us about ourselves. Did you know that corn has domesticated us? It turns out that what was once a grain has evolved and grown along side us to be more useful to us, because it turns out that being useful to humans has become the greatest evolutionary advantage ever! To add insult to injury corn is in just about any food you could think of now. Don't believe me? check the ingredients on the back of your Cheetos. Its in just one form or another.  During this class we traced back our roots as far as we could go to see what the different foods could teach us about where and who we came from.  We put all this info together in a colorful family tree. We also put together a map with the center of origin for almost every food crop with trade routes and the ancient civilizations that ...

Menu Madness

 Over this whole year our GCE  STEAM class took 3 thematic courses - Water, Fuel, and food. All three classes connected to one another, here how. Water is a basic necessity required for many processes. It can be used both as a fuel - hydroelectric plants and in fuel since water or H2O is a result of the combustion equation.  These both connect to food because through the fact that water is an important component in cooking as well as growing the food, and fuel also necessary to cooking and denaturing the ingredients.       During this last course - food  we talked a lot about the Green Revolution, and Norman Borlov.  We learned about how he learned to cross breed to create stronger more resistant crops for use in countries like Mexico that were starving due to crop diseases like the rust fungi. We considered the upsides and downsides to this such as the way it made plant resistant to the rust fungi but required extensive amounts or water and ...

Jared the Chatbot

Today we finished our last AP for our coding class, This time we learned how to use more reactionary statements that allow the computer to detect whether a condition is met or not and then execute a particular sequence of code or not.  To do this we use If - Then or elif statements. Our AP this time was to create a psudo-chatbot to talk and respond to you.   Afterword: This project was so much fun.  By this point in the course we learned enough that we could do a lot more creatively since we finally had the tools to pull it off; because of that this project became more of a passion project.  On the other hand though I learned that no matter how much coding you know you will always struggle with bugs.  I spent a lot of time especially because of the increased number of lines it took to make this.  It was confusing to decipher what was what even with the comments (The hashtag looking lines) which I used to make notes for myself.
